The big difference between Star Wars and GI Joe today is new media. Star Wars got an infusion, and in some respects TVC 2.0 took off, when The Mandalorian found success and led to the Razor Crest HasLab having blowout sales numbers -- along with the added benefit of more speculators looking for profit.
GI Joe has ongoing comics that the toy line doesn't tie into. There's no real current media tie-in to a large base. GI Joe is riding purely on nostalgia, and Classified has the added benefit of being the hot scale and never-before-done at that scale.
imho That will only take you so far and for so long.
The lack of a new GI Joe animated series that simultaneously looks back and forward, and appeals to kids and adults alike ala The Clone Wars after it founds its footing, baffles me to this day. The world building is already there. Take the risk and USE IT!
